A large
gathering of Scouts who rally at a national or international level. The
Cambridge dictionary defines "Jamboree" as a large social gathering.
Baden-Powell was once asked why he chose "jamboree". He replied,
"What else would you call it?", a response that makes sense
if the word already means a boisterous gathering.

24th
World Scout Jamboree
United States
July 22 - August 22, 2019United State Contingent Website Now Online!

The
Summit Bechtel Reserve, a world class, sustainable, Jamboree site, will
be the site of the 2019 World Scout Jamboree. The Summit Bechtel Reserve
is located in West Virginia, USA, and is comprised of more than 14,000
acres of beautiful forested mountains adjacent to more than 70,000 acres
of national park in the scenic New River Gorge area of West Virginia.

There
program will capture the four core values of The Summit Bechtel Reserve:
adventure, service, sustainability, and leadership. The foundations
of Scouting are as much a part of SBR as the zip lines, mountain bike
trails, and BMX ramps.

More
information regarding registration, fees, etc will come late August.

The
Contingent Management Team (CMT) is working on final numbers and aiming
to keep the cost as affordable as possible.

The
fees will be similar to that of a BSA National Jamboree.

It
will be a location-based fee structure, taking into account that travel
to the Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve will cost more for those who live
far away (like Seattle) compared to those who live closer (like Pittsburgh).

No
planning of any pre- or post-tours to keep the cost down.

The
age requirements were approved and set by the World Scout Committee
and World Organization Scout Movement (WOSM).

To
be eligible to attend as a member of the USA contingent, Scouts must
have been born between July 22, 2001 and July 21, 2005.

Older
Scouts, such as Venturers, we recommend applying to be a part of the
International Service Team (IST), or a unit leader.
